Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Brunswick-Lüneburg-Celle featuring Christian of Minden has a unique feature - it has a hole in the center. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process, and it was meant to serve as a way to attach the coin to a string or a cord, making it easier to carry or display. This feature is quite rare in coins from that time period, and it adds an extra layer of historical significance to the coin.
